Manga 'Hataraku Saibou' (Cells at Work!) is getting a TV anime adaptation. Coming for Summer 2018.
Studio is David Productions.

Plot Summary:

Quote:

Within the human body there is said to be approximately 60 million cells. White blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, macrophages, memory cells, killer T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, mast cells and many more!

All these different cells work tirelessly within the body, never resting for a moment, at any time willing to resist invading foreign entities like germs and viruses to the bitter end!

From Akane Shimizu, winner of Shounen Sirius' Rookie of the Year Award, comes an informative tale about anthropomorphised cells!

Episode 1

Pretty interesting episode. There's definitely some metaphors with the character designs especially the red and white blood cells.

From the first episode, there are certain antagonists that takes the form of bacteria. I'm surprised at how over the top some of the character reactions are though. Their behavior is very human-like. The story imo has a creative premise and really takes advantage of exploring the human body. I'm also impressed at how many body parts are already been shown just from the first episode.

I wonder if every episode's title will feature the monster of the week? This first episode is "Pneumococcus".

Has a lot of potential imo. This could be a dark horse of the season.

This was such a fun and hilarious start to this series. Since my background is in biology, I just find it all the more hilarious! Especially the "Sneeze" missiles (that go "Achoo!" instead of boom, LOL)!

Looking forward to more this series.

LOL, I noticed it's already been mentioned above about erythrocytes' high turnover rate.

A far cry from watching Fantastc Voyage as a kid this one!

Nivek von Beldo · 2018-07-07, 14:03

This anime is something have great potential so funny and unique with all design choices for the cells(kids/preschoolers for platelets was something funny too) and ditto the design for threat.

Seems those kids will have a lot of work for next chapter

Spoiler for ep1:

Those tiny Thrombocytes are so adorable~ <3
Wait, child labor is forbidden!!! Then again in a world where tiny pre-school kid repair streets, white killer police guys run around murdering bacterias and virens while screaming "die, shitty bacteria" while looking like an enraged berserker and red blood cells have no idea where the lung is, everything is possible. xD
I like this first episode a lot. Felt like a more brutal and over the top "Once upon a time...Life" though I am sure kids would love this one more than the original. Well, expect really small kids. Albeit the text boxes aren't a good way to educating kids, that was done better in the original with lots of time to explain and many many pictures as examples.^^

Where was this anime when I was in college? Much more entertaining than my bio textbooks for sure!

Itlandm · 2018-07-07, 19:54

I've looked forward to this one, and I was not disappointed. So much cute, so much action. Too bad theirs is a doomed romance, since cells just don't do that. (Plus, red blood cells don't even have a nucleus.) Still, a jolly great ride all the way. I don't mind the pacing, since there is plenty of action even so. Except for the ED. That one is slooow. But that may be intentional, to wind down the younger watchers who might otherwise leave overly excited from the splatter and explosions. All in all one of my favorites of the season so far.

Master_Yoma · 2018-07-07, 21:22

This reminds me a lot of Osmosis Jones but those platelet where so cute But to bad that red blood cell just got so lost

Mistyclear · 2018-07-07, 21:36

...hmmm this is certainly a different way to learn about the body.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: It's fairly entertaining watching the representations of the stuff in the body, but it honestly feels a bit long for its topic. I think the pacing would have been better if it was a 12-minute anime. Still, it wasn't bad. That said, if I really wanted to learn something about the human body, I would read a more credited source, like a textbook. So I don't care too much about the descriptions that occasionally pop up and remain visible for a bit too short time. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.

Lukes YGO & WS on YT Naracchi & Saracchi Join Date: Dec 2017 Location: Australia Age: 40	Spoiler for Episode 1 Comments/Feedback: That was pretty funny seeing the while blood cells massacre those bacterium. What a comical red blood cell, quite the adventure she had trying to get to her destination. So there are cells that are even more hardcore then him, they even have kill on their caps. That bacterium was quite a handful but he had a great plan to trap and then have it be sneezed out, everyone was saluting it lol. The bloodlust the white blood cells have for bacterium is funny, that germ at the end got massacred big time. This was really good, I thought I would just take a look because I love comedy but it definitely exceeded my expectations and I'm looking forward to watching the next episode. I'm also learning a bit of the body while I am watching so it's educational at the same time. __________________ Waifu Anime Video Game Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3a...dHFzXbqPV47c-A YU-GI-OH!
